I. GUEST PLAYER RULE
A member club may elect to use guest players to fill a game-day, league play only roster for VSL league play.
A. ROSTER REQUIREMENTS
1. A game-day roster is a photocopy of the team’s Official VYSA Roster with the guest player information completed in ink in its entirety on the back side in the prescribed area.
2. Players rostered on the original roster, but unable to play or unavailable for play, should have a solid black line drawn through their record on the game-day roster photocopy only (to explicitly show in-eligible players).
3. The game-day roster does not require approval by the League Registrar or any Assistant League Registrars or any other league official except as required in Section E, subsection 5.
4. The completed game-day roster along with the official VYSA team roster and USYS player passes for all participating players on the game-day roster must be available as specified in the VSL rules prior to the game for the match official’s and the opposing team official's review.
5. A copy of the game-day roster and a copy of the official USYS team roster must be made available for the match official’s records.
6. The game-day roster may contain no more than 7v7= 10 players, 8v8= 11 players, 11v11= 14 players. In accordance with Section B subsections 1, 2, & 3.
B. GUEST PLAYER REQUIREMENTS
1. All guest players must be registered to a team within the club or the club’s parent or affiliate and hold a valid USYS player pass for travel play. All USYS carded players, recreational or travel, may guest play for league play.
2. A11 teams are permitted to have a game day roster which includes guest players. Roster size with guest players is limited to the number of players on the field per team plus three (3) substitutes. No more than five (5) guest players are allowed. Maximum Game Day Roster limits with guest players: 7v7=10 players, 8v8=11 players, 11v11=14 players.
